C is for Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Armed Forces In my opinion, the pinnacle of their work. Their other albums of the time get more attention, but every song here is a gem.

The Zombies - Begin Here

recent $2 bin pick-up. Black viking metal shredding to die for.

Exile? Slowdive? The Wolfgang Press? The quality of music being listened to by the people on this thread is remarkably high. I like how it's never a p*ssing competition, just "hey, this is what's happening here". This is a band album with a fine frontlady singer. A pleasure to have a cover version of Talking Heads "Heaven" tucked in near the end of side 2. I don't think I've ever heard a bad version of that song.

Q is for the Quincy Conserve.

Paul Young - No Parlez

I think coronavirus has taken everyone's attention. Maybe contact Resurrection Radio in Melbourne.

Oh dear. This is a loss. Rest in peace. If you're not familiar with Bill Rieflin's work, the fan comment at this link gives you an idea of just how good a drummer he was. https://www.discogs.com/artist/132196-William-Rieflin?filter_anv=0&subtype=Albums&type=Releases The obituary doesn't mention his work with Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3. https://robynhitchcock.bandcamp.com/album/ole-tarantula Fanboy thing: Rieflin notoriously was reluctant to give autographs, but I did manage it on Ole Tarantula, Peter Buck was most surprised when he saw it when signing below it!

G = the Grateful Dead, American Beauty

Not chewed? You may have dodged a bullet. Here we are awaiting delivery of a spindle cap to (finally) replace the one which the bandit kitten mysteriously disposed of.

Thanks. Ghosts I - IV is demos/ textures/ soundscapes/ not the Downward Spiral so this will be ... interesting.

I blush. Thank you for the link. Is the Laser brand adequate? The last cheapie DVD player I bought, failed 12 months and 1 week after purchase. :(
